Gallery: A new year means a new onslaught of diet-related cookbooks

Don’t know what MILF means? Don’t look it up unless you’re OK with profanity. Let’s just say it’s a reference to attractive older women and leave it at that. This book builds its healthy eating plan around what it considers “MILFy” foods — whole grains, vegetables such as kale and bok choy, plant proteins like lentils, seaweed and fermented foods such as miso. This diet promises not only a youthful body, but a detoxified one with fully raised consciousness. Recipes for dishes like polenta with wild mushrooms, and sea vegetables with onion, carrot and corn are intended to keep you both desirable and desiring.
